The Explanation Is Not Clear, The Tomb Robbery Novel I Wrote Came True

Under the illumination of the lights, there was indeed a passage on the left and right sides of the stele facing the archaeological team.

Although this kind of secret passage hidden behind the stone tablet seems a bit eerie and weird, but as the only path at present, there is obviously no better choice.

Therefore, after thinking for two seconds, Professor Wen made the decision to enter the secret passage with all the staff.

It should be said that the stele itself is quite spacious, so after turning it sideways, there is enough space for an adult to walk sideways.

So after unloading the equipment, the team entered the tomb passage successively.

Unlike the tomb passage that came down at the beginning, this kind of secret passage hidden behind the stone tablet is very narrow, and can only accommodate one person in a row.

Perhaps because of the lack of communication with the outside world all year round, the air in this narrow secret passage is a bit dull.

Fortunately, the lights were dazzling, illuminating the entire secret passage as bright as day, which also gave everyone a sense of security.

As the footsteps of the people continued to echo, the distance from the entrance behind them became farther and farther away.

After walking for about five minutes, the originally flat road suddenly changed to a downward trend.

This made Professor Wen and the others stop in their tracks, and then looked around with a serious expression.

Chu Yun also squatted down, roughly estimating the downward slope and the possible length.

Chu Yun then said solemnly to the crowd: "In an ancient tomb, the topography often serves the design of the ancient tomb."

"According to the size of the tomb, the height of the location, and even some traps, the terrain will change accordingly."

"The section we took before was a horizontal route, and it was very stable along the way."

"But the sudden turn down to this place not only means that we are likely to enter the next chamber [but also indicates that danger may be ahead for us.

"Everyone, be careful next time, and be vigilant."

For Chu Yun28's experience in exploring ancient tombs, everyone has already been convinced.

For some historical knowledge and research on historical materials and cultural relics, Chu Yun may not be as good as Professor Wen and other seniors.

But when it comes to the precautions against the hidden weapons of these organs in the ancient tomb, as well as the design principles, and even the structural layout of the ancient tomb, it is something that everyone can't keep up with.

If you don't believe Chu Yun's judgment in this regard, it is tantamount to putting your head on the waistband of your trousers.

So as Chu Yun's voice fell, everyone obviously became tense.

Even Professor Wen hurriedly ordered the people around him to set up some simple defensive equipment.

And in the next part of the journey, the speed of the entire archaeological team was obviously much slower.

Move on for a few minutes.

Following the report of the team members walking in the front, the archaeological team stopped again.

They can clearly feel that the road under their feet has changed, the original downward trend has been stopped, and it has returned to the level ground here.

What appeared before their eyes was no longer a narrow secret passage, but another vaulted tomb.

This is exactly the same as Chu Yun's judgment, which proves that the secret passage behind the stele is the correct way, and it is also an idea designed by the builders of the ancient tomb.

Looking at the large domed tomb in front of them, Professor Wen and the others were refreshed, with a look of anticipation in their eyes.

A new tomb means a new discovery, and perhaps they can find some unusual information from here.

Of course, this also means that there may be unknown dangers, and everything is still hidden in the dark, so Professor Wen dare not step into this tomb at will.

Instead, a group of people stood at the entrance of the tomb, using the strong flashlight in their hands, to give the tomb a full range of lighting observation without blind spots.

What was presented before everyone's eyes was not much different from the vaulted tomb where they found the stele, the only possibility was that it was larger in size.

However, this cylindrical architectural structure made Professor Wen and Chu Yun wonder whether this style of burial was particularly popular during the Cao Wei period.

As the lights swept past in all directions, the scene in the middle of the tomb appeared instantly.

Seeing what they saw, everyone was shocked.

Many people even stop their heartbeat for half a beat.

In the center of the tomb, the left and right sides are arc-shaped, displaying dozens of puppets of different colors and postures. These puppets are separated from each other by a certain distance, and at the same time, they are kneeling on the ground with their hands on their chests.

At first glance, I thought it was dozens of people kneeling here. Thanks to the relatively small size of these dolls, they can still be seen clearly if they are carefully distinguished.

Otherwise, the staff of the research institute may think that these are real people.

But even so, the appearance of dozens of dolls neatly in front of them still brought a lot of impact to everyone.

Without exception, these puppets are kneeling on the ground, looking ahead, and due to the angle, the expressions of these puppets cannot be seen clearly.

However, under the illumination of the lights, the paintings and workmanship of these dolls can barely be seen, which can be regarded as quite delicate.

In addition to the dolls on both sides, the end of the road in the middle seems to be a stone gate.

It's just that the distance between the two is too far, and Professor Wen and others can't get any useful information from Shimen.

Except for these two conspicuous places in the tomb, there is no special difference, nothing more than a few more lampposts standing on the ground.

After taking a general look at these dolls, Professor Wen turned around and said to everyone.

"According to my observation, these dolls are shaped in a more typical style of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Whether it is the color of the clothes or the bun on the head, they all have the flavor of that era.

"And these dolls are sitting on the ground, and they happen to form a circle around the entire tomb, facing the central avenue, and the design is quite regular."

"So follow my preliminary inference."

"This is most likely a special burial ceremony at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and these puppets are used to replace living people, and are used for sacrifice or burial."

Professor Wen's judgment made several professors beside him nod their heads one after another. Based on their experience and knowledge in their minds, they made almost the same judgments about the scene in front of them.

This should be some kind of mysterious ceremony.

For the reception of the dead.

It may be to pray for the dead to be peaceful underground, or some method of requiem, or some kind of ritual without any basis.

All of these are possible. After all, it has been nearly two thousand years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Who can fully understand what kind of customs and customs were circulated at that time, as well as the peculiar buildings in the tombs?

After exchanging and analyzing each other for a while, several experts came to a common decision.

That is to observe these puppets up close.

Since these puppets are used for sacrifice or burial, compared with the potential danger, it is obvious that they may obtain more information.

At least these puppets are of great help to them in studying various customs and habits in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Besides, if you want to fully explore this tomb of Cao Cao, then the tomb in front of you is an indispensable part and cannot be bypassed.

That being the case, as long as the preparations are complete, there is nothing wrong with observing the puppet formation at a close distance.

And this time the archaeological team can be said to be relying on something, they updated the clothes on their bodies.

Since the ancient tomb was attacked by crossbow arrows twice in succession, the accompanying officers and soldiers of the archaeological team have learned to behave.

Directly adjusted several explosion-proof shields.

As the best explosion-proof equipment, these things are made of toughened materials, which can block even high-speed bullets, including crossbow arrows.

In this way, they will not be helpless in the face of all kinds of weird crossbow and arrow mechanisms.

After making up his mind, Professor Wen waved his hand.

The entire archaeological team entered the tomb one after another, and the accompanying officers and soldiers who were responsible for the security of the team formed a circle around the periphery very cautiously.

It is said that the colors are different, but most of the dolls are painted in bright red, which gives people a considerable visual impact in the originally dark tomb.

Walked about ten steps or so.

The archaeological team came to the puppet closest to them.

Previously, they couldn't see clearly because of the angle, but this time they were facing the puppet, and the sight in front of them made everyone shudder.

The doll in front of them had red lips and white teeth, and the paint on its face was pale, giving the impression that it was covered in a layer of flour.

These are fine.

What made everyone present feel a little nervous was the facial expressions of these puppets.

The mouth opened wide, upwards in an unusual arc, outlining a weird smile.

It seems to be mocking them who entered the tomb.

In the deep and quiet tomb, in an empty tomb, there are dozens of puppets with strange smiles kneeling on the left and right sides.

Although these gadgets are motionless now, they are all in a static state looking forward.

But including Professor Wen, everyone felt a little creepy, as if at this moment, the temperature in the tomb suddenly dropped.

A staff member in the team shuddered, then rubbed his hands vigorously on his arms twice, and at the same time said with a somewhat panicked expression.

"Why do I suddenly feel so cold in this tomb, as if there is a dark wind blowing from the Nine Nethers, and I feel panicked when I see these puppets.

After hearing the whisper of the staff member in the team, Professor Wen actually felt the same way.

Although this tomb is closed and there is no possibility of any air outlets, the sudden drop in temperature is most likely due to psychological effects.

But to be honest, he was also a little panicked.

So after glancing at the puppet, Professor Wen pondered for a few seconds, and then said to everyone.

"I always feel that these puppets are weird, everyone, don't get close, let's go and see the stone door at the back first."

"After mastering the road to the back, I will go back and study these puppets, and then there will be a basis for advancing and retreating."

Professor Wen's words were unanimously agreed by everyone, and everyone walked through the passage quickly, thinking to reach the stone gate as quickly as possible, and study the next road.

Soon he passed through more than a dozen puppets and came to the center of the entire tomb, just when the big guy didn't stop and planned to continue passing through.

Chu Yun, who had been following the team without commenting, suddenly felt something was wrong.

He paused.

Then he shone the light in his hand to a place he had passed before, which was the puppet at the beginning.

It's okay if you don't look at 737, but Chu Yun was shocked when he saw it, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Professor Wen who was about to move on.

"Professor Wen, look at the first puppet over there, has the orientation of its face changed?"

In this tomb room full of quiet atmosphere, Chu Yun suddenly said such a sentence, which scared some of the less courageous staff out of their wits.

Everyone, including Professor Wen, felt a little scalped

Numb, creepy all over.

What does face orientation change mean?

Doesn't this mean that these puppets can move!

The old professor couldn't care less about continuing to walk forward, so he turned around quickly, and followed the direction Chu Yun pointed, and shone it with a flashlight.

Shine with the lights.

The members of the archaeological team not only did not feel a sense of security, but instead felt cold.

In an instant, my mind was shaken!

What they saw with their eyes scared their hearts out of their throats.

I saw that the face of the puppet passing by at the beginning had obviously changed.

Originally, these puppets were all looking forward, and the direction they were facing was at a perpendicular angle to the passage they were walking on.

This means that after they have walked these dozens of steps, looking back at the doll from this angle, they should see a side face.

However, under the light, an extremely pale, bloodless face was facing them straight.

It's as if this puppet has been watching as they continue to move forward.

The big split mouth, the white teeth and red teeth, and the weird smile that was upturned at an abnormal angle, all seemed to indicate something to them.

Professor Wen and the others felt ghosts in their hearts, and a gust of cold air rushed straight from the soles of their feet to the top of the sky, and they felt goose bumps all over their bodies.

This thing is definitely a doll, there is no doubt about it, Professor Wen and others have simply checked it before.

Since it is an object without life, how does it move now.

Is this fucking haunted?

However, before the panic in everyone's hearts calmed down, a staff member standing on the other side pointed to the corner on the left with an ugly expression.

"Professors, the dolls here are also moving!"

swish!!!

Everyone's gazes were in unison, and they turned in the indicated direction.

Sure enough, on the left side opposite to the puppet on the right, there was also a pale face with a strange smile.

This shows that the current scene is not an exception.

Most likely all the puppets are moving!

Everyone panicked.
